This place has amazing gluten-free options. Love the potato stir-fry.

We have been wanting to try this restaurant having eaten at the chef's east village restaurant Graffitti. Graffiti is excellent and we were definitely not disappointed with Metaphor! The Lamb shank is delicious as are the pork dumplings. We will definitely order frame here again.

This place is an absolute joke. After 1 hour of not receiving my food I called up and they told me everyone had gone home and they didn't receive my order. That was insulting and the little girl was completely not understanding and offered no resolution. Beyond that ridiculousness, what kind of Asian Fusion restaurant doesn't serve rice. This place is terrible, and I didn't even eat the food.

I don't normally write reviews, but something inspired me. I got the calamari appetizer, which was nicely breaded and spiced without being greasy -- it also came on a bed of fennel instead of the normal inedible garnish, which was a nice treat. The shrimp and bok choy dish was also quite good -- with a nice spice to it. I was pleasantly surprised and will have to order again.

The food was too salty and portions too small. I ordered the Banana Tofu, which turned out to be $20 for a block of salty tofu with a coconut-like briny green spread slathered all over the top.

The "Street Burger" is delicious comfort food.

Interesting dishes. The veggie dumpling chaat is pretty good. It's basically veggie dumplings with sev and chaat stuff on top. The truffled goat cheese pizza had a very crisp and flaky crust and was excellent. Delivery was quick and painless. Will definitely order from here again!

Terrible. Ordered the lamb shank from here because it sounded decent and because it was gluten free (its amazing how litte GF stuff there is in NYC). Lamb was undercooked, like seriously undercooked and awful. I'm someone who LOVES rare meat and this was just terrible, hardly cooked, chewy, and tasted just like old gym sock. Sweet potatoe fries were pretty decent, but I guarantee I'll never order from this place again.

Extremely over-priced! The potatoes, which sound like a fancy entree for $17, are just french fries with soggy lettuce over them! I NEVER write negative reviews, but this place is terribly over-priced and the quality was poor!
